It really shouldn’t be much of a surprise that the RepubicRAT half of the Party In Government is backing ethically-challenged Louisiana DemocRAT Representative William Jefferson in his battle to remain in office and free of corruption charges despite videotape evidence that he accepted a $100,000 bribe and convictions of his associates on charges of bribing him, going so far as to threaten a legal challenge to a search warrant execution on Jefferson’s Congressional office. After all, Congress exempts its members from just about every law they saddle the rest of America with.
I can’t figure out if this is supposed to be a show of bipartisan ship or if they’re trying to cover themselves from any possible investigation.
If I had to choose, I’d hope it’s the former. Either way, it stinks.
